Newb here, my 1st firearms purchase was a Hi-Point JHP .45 out of Wildlife Taxidermy & Sports in Manchester, check it out if you've never been there. The guy behind the counter was beside himself when he had to leave a message with the background check people and they still called back and gave him the go ahead in about an hour, according to him, an employee of several years with an obviously clean record "has to wait 3 days every time". Anyways it's an awesome place with awesome people and stuff.
